Definitions
- the present invention relates to security markers for marking objects and people, methods of using the markers, methods of detecting the markers and security devices containing such markers.
- the security markers used comprise a nucleic acid molecule which can be uniquely identified to a specific source of the security marker.
- markers for identifying the ownership of an article are known in the art. Some markers use a specific formulation of different chemical compounds to identify that an object is owned by somebody or was at a specific location. Such chemical markers are shown, for example, in GB 2245583. Such systems have only a limited number of identifying compounds, thus making it difficult to uniquely identify a large number of locations.
- Security markers comprising the use of nucleic acid molecules are also known in the art, as shown in, for example, WO 94/04918, WO 87/06383 and WO 95/02702. Such security markers may be simply identified by the use of a suitable probe which may hybridise to the nucleic acid within the marker.
- PCR polymerase chain reaction
- nucleic acid molecule as a security marker is that a unique nucleotide sequence can be used for each user of the security marker or for each location in which a security marker is used.
- Use of oligonucleotides having random nucleic acid sequences is disclosed in US 5,139,812.
- Such security markers may be used to label goods or alternatively be used in a security system, whereby they are sprayed upon an intruder upon activation of a suitable actuator. In the latter case, such security markers are useful to demonstrate that an intruder was at the scene of a crime. Where such a marker is used for the purposes of crime detection it is important that the detection of the marker is as error-free as possible to reduce the possibility of falsely convicting third parties.
- the inventors have realised that polymerase chain reaction of a strand of nucleic acid using a suitable primer, followed by sequencing from that primer, does not always produce a consistent sequence for any marker DNA. It is therefore useful to have a backup to confirm the sequence of any unique sequence of a marker region of the security marker.
- the inventors have therefore provided a second primer region on the security marker which enables the sequence of the marker region to be confirmed by allowing the complementary strand to be produced by PCR and then to be sequenced using a second primer.
- a first aspect of the invention provides a security marker comprising a nucleic acid molecule, said nucleic acid molecule comprising:
- a first primer region substantially identical to a first primer; and linked to the first primer region, (ii) a marker region comprising a predetermined nucleic acid sequence capable of identifying the source of the security marker; and (iii) a region which is substantially the reverse complement of a second primer and capable of being bound by this primer.
- substantially identical to the first primer or “substantially the reverse complement of a second primer” are intended to mean that there is sufficient homology to allow the first primer or second primer, and the region to which they bind on the security marker or a nucleic acid molecule complementary to the security marker, to hybridise under high stringency conditions. Such conditions are preferably under typical PCR conditions.
- the security marker is a single stranded nucleic acid molecule which is easier to manufacture as oligonucleotide.
- double stranded markers may be used.
- the second primer is used to allow the nucleic acid molecule to replicate by PCR, thus producing a second complementary strand of nucleic acid.
- the complementary strand then comprises a primer region which has the correct sequence to enable the first primer to bind with it.
- the first primer can then be used to multiply the complementary strand of nucleic acid.
- the complementary primer region is downstream of the marker region.
- the inventors have also realised that where a marker has been attached to an object or an intruder, for example, there is often a large amount of contaminating DNA fragments from, for example, human beings and/or any pets, such as dogs or cat, that are around the object or intruder.
- the nucleic acid sequence of the first primer and the nucleic acid sequence of the second primer are selected so that there is a low probability that their respective primer binding regions occur with 150 bases or 120 or 100 bases of each other in native DNA. That is, naturally occurring sequences to which primers used with the security marker can bind under high stringency conditions do not normally occur within 150 bases of each other in native DNA.
- the probability is less than 95%, especially less than 97%, more preferably less than 99%.
- high stringency we mean, for example, 1.5 mM MgCl 2 , 53°C annealing temperature.
- the native DNA is prokaryotic or eukaryotic, especially humans, dog, cat, mouse, rat and/or insect DNA.
- One or other primer may bind to non-security marker DNA but to produce a PCR product requires both primers to bind but these are likely to only produce DNA of a different size to the security marker DNA, thus enabling such fragments to be easily discounted.
- the security marker may then be sequenced to determine the exact sequence of the marker region.
- primers and the regions to which they bind on the security marker, or a complementary molecule are 100% complementary to their binding region. This allows high levels of stringency to be used to assay the presence of marker.
- the inventors have identified that nucleic acid from the brown throated sloth (Bradypus variegatus)
- the especially preferred sequence from the brown throated sloth used is a nucleic acid sequence corresponding to the mitochondrial ND1 gene of the sloth.
- nucleic acid we mean single or double stranded DNA or RNA of natural or synthetic origin, or synthetic derivatives thereof which may be totally or partially constituted of rare bases or by modified bases.
- the primer regions are arranged on the nucleic acid to enable a suitable nucleic acid primer to selectively hybridise to the primer region, thus allowing the security marker containing the marker region to be amplified from a sample.
- the primer region consists of between 15 and 50, preferably 17-30, especially 18 nucleotides to allow sufficiently high stringency of hybridisation with a suitable primer used to identify the presence of the security marker.
- the primer itself may be used to directly amplify the security marker by, for example, polymerase chain reaction.
- the first primer and second primer may be the same or different.
- the marker region itself contains a predetermined nucleic acid sequence which is preferably unique to the owner of a particular security marker or to a particular location, such as a specific factory building or specific car. For example, where the security marker is used on an article and the article has been stolen and then recovered by police, after the security marker is identified by sequencing the marker sequence, the owner of the stolen article may be traced. Alternatively, for example, where the security marker has been sprayed onto an intruder, then the unique sequence of the security marker can identify that the intruder has been within a particular factory premises or within a car when, for example, a security device containing the security marker has been activated.
- complementary defines the relationship between two strands of DNA or DNA and RNA where they are complementary to each other if their sequences are related by base-pairing rules.
- ATCG is complementary to the sequence TAGC and paired with it by hydrogen bonding.
- the accuracy of the sequencing of the marker region may be determined by comparing the sequence with the sequence obtained for the marker from the second primer and seeing whether the two sequences are complementary to each other.
- the marker region consists of between 10 and 30 nucleotides, especially between 15 and 25, more preferably 20 nucleotides in length. This allows a large number of unique sequences, each of which are unique to a particular application of the security marker to be generated.
- the or each primer may be separated from the marker region by a stretch of up to 50, especially between 20 and 40, more preferably a stretch of 20 to 30 nucleotides in length.
- the stretch of nucleotides between the primer and the marker region have been found by the inventors to improve the accuracy of the sequencing of the security marker.
- the nucleic acid molecule within the security marker may be labelled. It may, for example, be labelled with a visible dye which enables the security marker to be easily seen with the naked eye. Alternatively, the label may be a fluorescent dye which enables the nucleic acid molecule to be identified under ultraviolet light.
- the security marker may comprise one or more separate labels such as colorimetric and/or fluorescent labels.
- nucleic acid molecules when exposed to the surface of any object, may be degraded by naturally occurring nucleases, such as 3'- or 5'-exonucleases. Such nucleases may be present on the skin of a person or from bacteria on the surface of an object. It is therefore desirable to improve the resistance of the security markers to attack from such enzymes.
- nucleic acid molecule comprises at one or both ends a blocking agent.
- blocking agents include those agents which are known to resist nuclease attack such as phosphothioate linkage, non-natural nucleosides, dendrimers or amino alkyl groups.
- the nucleic acid molecule preferably comprises one or more binding agents which assists in attaching the nucleic acid molecule to an object.
- the binding agents may include biotin, vitamin-E, cholesterol and phosphothioates.
- Biotin, vitamin-E and cholesterol may be used since they are fat-soluble molecules which enable the nucleic acid molecule to bind to the skin of an intruder.
- biotin is especially useful because nucleic acid molecules containing biotin which have been obtained from a sample, may be readily isolated by running a solution made from the sample through an avidin-containing column. The biotin-containing nucleic acid molecule may bind to the avidin on the column, allowing it to be isolated and purified.
- Phosphothioates are useful as binding-agents because the phosphothioate will form disulphide bonds with naturally occurring cysteine residues in proteins such as wool, hair, fingernails, etc.
- the security marker may be removed from the surface of an object by any suitable means. For example, swabbing using ethanol has been found to work. Skin scrapes may also be used. Dithiothreitol (DTT) has been found to be useful in isolating security markers comprising phosphothioate incorporated into the nucleic acid molecule. The DTT denatures any disulphide bonds between the phosphothioate and proteins on the object which has been marked, thus releasing the security marker.
- DTT Dithiothreitol
- Different coloured or different fluorescently labelled security markers may be used for different situations. For example, a specific colour may be used in one country and not another, thus allowing the identification of crime suspects when they pass through, for example, customs. Alternatively, different colours may be used for different situations, for example to demonstrate whether a person has carried out a car theft or has been involved in breaking and entering a factory premises.
- the invention further provides the use of a security marker according to the invention to mark an object.
- a method of marking an object comprising applying a security marker, according to the invention, to an object is also provided.
- a security marker may be applied by any suitable means such as using a brush, a spray, an aerosol or a stream.
- the object is a human, such as an intruder.
- the security marker may be amplified by, for example, PCR prior to sequencing the first marker region.
- the security marker may additionally be screened with a second probe capable of hybridising to the second primer region once the marker has been replicated to form a complementary strand by e.g. PCR, and the second marker region is then sequenced.
- the marker regions may be sequenced by any methods known in the art, such as dideoxy sequencing, mass-spectrometry sequencing or other techniques known in the art.
- Such sequencing may occur after initial amplification by PCR or directly, e.g. using minisequencing.
- the sequence of marker region may be compared with a database to determine the source of the security marker. That is, to enable the owner of the object to be identified, for example, or to identify where a prime suspect may have been exposed to the security marker.
- a further aspect of the invention provides a security kit comprising a security marker according to the invention.
- the security kit may comprise a security marker within a suitable solution or, for example, within a grease.
- the grease may be of use to ensure that a sample of cloth is successfully marked.
- the kit may comprise aerosol means for applying the security marker as a spray or aerosol onto an object.
- the security system may additionally comprise a smoke generator.
- smoke generators use, for example, a glycol to rapidly fill a space, such as the inside of a room or a car, with a chemical smoke. This disorientates an intruder and prevents the intruder making off with objects or the car.
- the security system may also comprise suitable sensors and actuators to actuate the application of the security marker onto an intruder. The actuator may also be activated remotely, for example from a control room.
- a further aspect of the invention provides a database comprising details of where a security marker, according to the invention, is in use and a list of the nucleic acid sequence encoding the marker region of the security marker. This enables the source of a security marker, according to the invention, to be identified.
- a further aspect of the invention provides a security device comprising an actuator for releasing a supply of nucleic acid according to the invention and additionally comprising a read only memory (ROM) to record the date and time of an activation of the actuator. Such a device enables the exact date and time of the entry of an intruder to be determined. This improves the probability that the intruder will be successfully prosecuted by providing an exact record of the circumstances surrounding the covering of the intruder with the security marker.

- the complementary strand has a functional first primer region capable of being bound by a first primer. It also has a marker region complementary to the marker region on the original marker.
- a particularly useful primer sequence may be obtained from the brown-throated sloth. This has the following sequence: 5'-ta cccacgattccgctacgatc aactaataca cttgctatga aaaatttcc tcccactcac cctggccctatgca cgtgacacataacc-3'
- the primer sequences were attached to unique marker sequences, for example of sequence: gaaaaaatttcctcccactcac which were separated from the primer sequences by a stretch of 22 bases from one primer region, 10 bases from a second primer region.
- the nucleic acid molecules can be prepared by conventional solid-phase methods, typically on an automated DNA synthesiser. The most common method involves the use of ⁇ -cyanoethyl phosphoramidite chemistry as described in the following publications:
- Oligonucleotides can also be synthesised by manual solid-phase methods or by solution-phase methods but the automated solid-phase method has the advantage of high throughput. DNA isolated from biological sources can also be used.
- the nucleic acid molecules optionally contained vitamin-E, cholesterol, phosphothioate and/or FAM (a fluorescein dye).
- Samples of the security marker were placed upon samples such as fabric or skin.
- reaction mix comprise. lOx PCR buffer developed for SYBR Green reactions on the ABI Prism Sequence detection system 7700, which was obtained from Genesys.
- Typical cycling conditions were 53°C for 2 mins., 95°C for 10 mins., 40 cycles of 95° for 30 sees., 50° for 30 sees, and then 72°C for 30 sees. A final extension was carried out at 72°C for 7 mins.
- Retrieval of a DNA from cotton fabric (5 ⁇ l of a solution of 0.04 ng/ml of DNA added to a small spot, allowed to dry and left on the lab bench) by soaking fabric in 1 ml of sterile water or ethanol for 1 hour, optionally followed by removal of fabric, is possible for at least 1 week. Where ethanol was used, this was followed by ethanol precipitation. The water was frozen until the end of the week when the PCR reactions were carried out together, using 5 ⁇ l of the water. All samples gave a good PCR product of the expected size. Washing the fabric at 40°C reduced the amount of product, as does ironing and washing followed by ironing.
- Biotin and Nitamin-E were found not to inhibit PCR or sequencing when attached to the 5' end of the target.
- the PCR products were sequenced following PCR purification using a Quiagen kit. Both gave sequences with the lower primer giving better sequence than the upper primer.
- Biotin and Nitamin-E were found to remain on fabric (5 ⁇ l of 0.04 ng/ ⁇ l) over 3 days and can be retrieved by soaking in 2 ml of water for 1 hr. followed by freezing of sample.
- Biotin and Vitamin E targets could also be retrieved from skin by swabbing with damp cotton wool (non-absorbent) after 5 ⁇ l of 0.04 ng/ ⁇ l were left to dry for 10 mins. on the surface of skin. Biotin gave the best result. There was no contamination when a patch of skin that had not been treated with target was swabbed.
- Cholesterol could also be successfully retrieved from fabric and skin both immediately after application and after 24 hours using water or ethanol. It was also shown to remain on fabric after being washed at 60°C.
- Retrieval from fabric was undertaken by soaking the fabric in 2 ml. of 1% DTT for 10 mins.
